This is a case study of a conflict management intervention in two secondary schools in post-apartheid South Africa. The feature of the intervention that we examine is the use of play as an educational strategy. The literature attests that play can facilitate change by allowing learners freedom to change their behaviour and opportunities to explore their new identities. The context of the case revealed that conflicts had become deeply entrenched over time. The literature on conflict management...

Despite a growing body of work on the experiences of Black collegians, the higher education knowledge base lacks scholarship focused on Black men in graduate programs who are foreign-born and/or identify ethnically as other than African American. In this article, we provide a domain-specific investigation (i.e., based on students' field of study), centering on nine Black men in engineering graduate programs. Three themes emerged regarding students' racialized experiences and effects of...

To investigate the influence of student sex, ethnicity and teacher sex, ethnicity, and teaching level on referrals to special education, 320 teachers responded to a case history by completing 11 Likert-type questions. Results showed that recommendations were influenced by teacher ethnicity and teaching level, but not by student sex or race. Also, teacher ethnicity and student sex showed significant interaction. Black and white teachers recommended more males, while Hispanics more females for...

A 1982 study of alcohol use among migrant laborers in New York focuses on the extent of drinking among workers with different characteristics, to test the hypothesis that in camps composed primarily of family groups social control mechanisms will be more highly developed than in camps composed primarily of unattached men, and that this will be reflected in differences in drinking behavior. Interviews conducted with 217 Black and Haitian migrant agricultural workers in 13 camps in 4 upstate New...

This bulletin examines the employment problems of workers in relation to their family and household economic status, as measured by their family income and poverty-nonpoverty status. The bulletin is based largely on data from the March 1982 Current Population Survey of the Bureau of the Census that relates to the year 1981. For each of the three problems defined (low earnings among year-round full-time workers, unemployment, and involuntary parttime employment), poverty was found to be related...

One hundred and thirty-six 5- and 6-year-olds participated in this study, which investigated the extent to which cooperative, trusting behavior could be demonstrated between Mexican-American, Negro, and Anglo-American children. Also considered were some of the basic variables which were important in the development of such behavior. Similar and dissimilar ethnic-group pairs were placed into immediate or delayed reward groups. Each child was given a choice of either competitive or cooperative...

Program planning for economically deprived children might be improved if behavioral information pertinent to specific subcultural groups were systematically obtained.

The first part of the model sets up a subpopulation matrix for five major subcultural groups (Black American, Mexican...

The research in this paper explores the nature and operation of intergroup inequality, as well as means of its eventual elimination, by initiating an ethnography of a representative low-income urban Afro-American community through the method of in-resident participant-observation. Two primary hypotheses are tested. The first, which was predicted to be invalidated by the data, and in fact was, is that the collective behavior and social life of the community conform to a "culture of...

In the United States, the taboo against recognizing behavioral differences as a normal function of ethnic identity is strongest in the liberal social-science treatment of behavioral comparisons of blacks and whites. Of the many problems which the requirements of the classroom and the office may present for young blacks, conformity to the complex maze of norms defining "correct" English is one of the most imposing. The view of black speech as unstructured and the characterization of...

Black student alienation in liberal arts colleges is discussed. A study was conducted of eight four-year liberal arts colleges in the Midwest. Respondents included 267 black students, nearly 60% of all black students enrolled.

Black Americans' use of and belief in the credibility of the mass media is no less extensive than that of the general population. In fact, television and radio use by blacks exceeds that of whites and research shows the broadcast media to be particularly important sources of information for blacks on consumer and political affairs. But many writers feel that blacks, often either ignored altogether or portrayed negatively, are damaged by their treatment in the media and as viewers, readers, and...

Though Congress long ago declared housing discrimination illegal, there is very little enforcement of the law, and in 2000, the isolation of minority families remains high. The most recent federal and local studies of the housing market and of lending practices indicate continued and widespread discrimination. Segregated black communities extend well into sections of some suburban rings. In many housing markets, most black families have been segregated for generations. Large, segregated Latino...

During the 1980s, the population of black women aged 16 years and older in the United States increased by 17.2%, and labor force participation for black women increased by 29%. In 1987, black women accounted for 50% of total black employment. The unemployment rate for black teenagers in 1990 was 30% (versus 10.8% for all black women). Labor force participation by black women increased from 53.1% in 1980 to 57.8% in 1990. Predictably, black women with more years of schooling have higher labor...
